This One Pre-Trip Inspection May Have Saved Us Thousand$$$ & Prevented a Major Disaster RV Lifestyle

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

I bet you hold the record of visiting 3 of them in one day

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So true 😁😁😁 to tell the truth I just wanted more coffee.

[@glenbo2464]

Good tires are a must for me on anything im riding in or on ! We have used Les Schwab since the 80s , never had one of their tires blowout and they always fix flats for free. We have a car with aluminum rims , they replaced the tires and it had a click to it also. I took it back and asked if it could be the tire weights and it was. They were the stick on type on the inside of the wheel and were rubbing the brake caliper ! lol

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Good tires is a must for sure.

[@janetjacoby9507]

I was told that at any rest stop nation wide you are allowed to overnight it. Unless posted. I've never been booted out. Y'all are so cute. Stay safe. See you down the road!❤❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We've never had a problem at and if them also.

[@exploringrvdude7817]

Wow, I've never seen Lake Shasta that full. But I do sure miss seeing the Pacific Northwest, great to see it in your video.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

The lake looked so awesome

[@susanstrickland6774]

Yes, you have to have good tires. Safety first, always. Lil frustrating, but at the end of the day its good. Nice employees at LS. Dinner looked good. 🙂👍🙏.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

You got that right!

[@skepticalmom2948]

Wow, tires can be so scary. I’ve had so many flats of different kinds I am very aware of that danger. Take care you two! God be with you!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We have been very lucky so far.

[@maebellaakamaegirl190]

GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND PUMPKIN 💯💯

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you, and you also 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@gracecallowayable]

Well…I learnt a lesson today from you guys!!! Thank you so much…never would have thought of that… Awesome!!!👠🚌👠

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Our pleasure!

[@milacy3]

Glad you got the puncture fixed. It’s always scarey when you’re traveling. Never heard of Les Schwab but you’re a good advertisement for them! Be safe!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I was so happy they could fix the tire

[@valerieforsyth992]

You guys are so amazing. It’s so neat the way you travel with your. We traveled with our cat and she loved going to hotels. We just lost her at 17 and traveling won’t be the same.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So sorry for your lost. Sending a few hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@michelleoglesbee-flores2518]

Great tips. Will remember to do that when take my rv out more. Welcome back to the PNW. Bet you will enjoy being back to your property soon.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are getting close 👍👍👍👍👍

[@markparr7224]

I used to swear by LS, until they tried to charge my mom $2500 for a brake job she didn't need, and has been driving on the same brakes for over 5 years now... They also tried to sell her a new wheel and tire that was a spare, and wouldn't hold air, but I cleaned off the corrosion with a wire wheel, and then it held air for years after. Took me ten minutes. If it was my shop I would have done that with no charge.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They did fix the trailer tire for free.

[@gregdawildmanfast5643]

Les Schwab is Awesome I've used them since the early to mid 80's happy all the time....

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Us also.

[@nancymedeiros5268]

Wow glad all is good 👍 🙏

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

A great day after all.

[@carolinefreeebyrdacw13ly]

I love the Black Bear Diner - best breakfast

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So good yum.

[@csmith20020]

I had a whole bearing race go into one of my tires. Les Schwab took such good care of me with the new tire and everything.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Love hearing that.

[@nyakundibose6972]

The Way you'll present the videos is so true and entertaining.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you and we are so glad you enjoyed

[@CherylBell-gr1zg]

scott you are one funny man i feel like i am watching a scripted comedy show keep it coming

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So glad I can make you smile 😎😎😎

[@yt-watchmen6626]

Thank you very much! And Hola back.

[@connielahman5725]

Wow what a stressful day but glad it all worked out and you got a good meal.Hope you find a good place for a great night sleep and start over in the morning.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

All went great the rest of the day.

[@scarlethenderson6510]

I would have got in that dumpster too those are great for chocking wheels or holding up your trailers hitch or oh my goodness so many things you can use those for I would be excited about those too, again love you guys cuz you're always helping people I know that gentleman appreciated the help, I was wondering if maybe one of the balance weights had come loose on the rim because it was an odd noise

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Loving the blocks. And a few made a great fire.

[@3generations393]

Y'all have such an awesome positive attitude 🙏🙏❣️ Today (friday) in prayer day for our "Mother Earth" 🙌 ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾

[@StepvanDan]

I am glad you’re on top of things and safe and sound. Yes KZbin pumpkin love you guys big hugs from Sarasota Florida today.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Hola and hugs back 🤗🤗🤗

[@evelyndunham5135]

I’m definitely going to Les Swabb if I ever need service ❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They have been good to us.

[@maryvalent961]

Scavenged firewood! That’s a good day! WTG Scotty!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Great fire wood. Nice and clean.

[@barbarasummers280]

when I was really poor, I used to go to Bob''s Tires in Red Bluff, CA and they had a slogan, Less Schwab, More Bob! They were great too! But I now go to Les Scwab as got my tires there to move to Washington, and they are very good!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That's great, love it. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@pennylee6569]

Awesome video see ya Terri an Scotty an pumpkin hugs always ❤❤❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😉😉😊🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😎😎😎😎😎😁😁😁😁🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😊🤗🤗🤗

[@mastersparkyful]

I bought tires on amazon they shipped to les schwab and the cost per tire was 20 bucks each to mount and the total was under 500 four new truck tires.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That's a great price.👍👍👍

[@ambersteele9855]

Eric at les Schwab didn't take off or put the lug nuts on right. If he did the pickup then that might be it. Supposed to crisscross lug nuts when taking them off and on. Also tires are supposed to be retorqued after 50 or so miles. And I don't see where they torqued the tires at all. Gotta watch these tire people like a hawk. Stay safe!

[@lorip2109]

Both of you have such a great attitude - finding something positive to be thankful about. The problems are solved and you’re safely back on the road home. Your channel is a pleasure to watch!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you So very much

[@melodygrandinetti5016]

Things happen, just know he's got your back 😊

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gracierose3076]

I didn't say that about the tire. But I said a little prayer!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you So much 🤗🤗🤗

[@janesecaraway3995]

Wow!! What a day!! Soooo stressful 😫 😪. Yall handled things quite well in my opinion....it could have happened at any tire dealer! If yall are satisfied with the work the Les people give, that's all that matters! Love yall 💓! Happy trails! ❤😊

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

All worked out good.

[@cosytravels3444]

Love Scotty’s Busses by the Bridge shirt

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's one of my favorite

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

I learned so much from you guys.. safe travels North.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Happy we can help in anyway

[@queenbear4581]

You tired Pumpkin out!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

She slept well that night.

[@justlucky13]

Good habit Scott Walk around inspections pre trip during trip every fuel up is my routine What a simple pain in the brain tire weight Welcome to Oregon I've been beach camping the last few nights Driftwood Beach looking at ocean now Peace

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are getting close 😊😊😊😊😊

[@johnlarabee5835]

Scott and Terri If you are heading to your property in Washington and find you need any tools let me know. I help you out if I can. Also I have nothing but good things to say about Les Schwab. Don in Aberdeen has always taken good care of my motor home and my Jeep. You should still have my number.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That would be so awesome. We should be there in a week or so. I will have Teri check for your number. Thank you. I have a feeling my grass is two feet tall 😁😁😁.

[@sueann7665]

You don’t have any bird seed or a lg bag of dog food, I had trouble with moths and they were coming from my birdseed, they will lay eggs in books and things. It’s really a pain!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They are all gone now. 👍👍👍

[@matthewmulford8918]

Wow, so les schwab charged you $700 for 2 tires and didn't install the balance weight properly, which sent you on a wild goose chase. I do not trust them as a company. They rip people off. Go to America's tire next time. Even walmart does a better job than them.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

All worked out but 700 bucks it is a bit costly

[@zackmax7184]

Sorry that this is Kinda Late. I had Cataract Surgery on My Right Eye I have worn Glasses Since I was 4 years Old and I am still going to need a thin pair for up close stuff like My Phone.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Hugs to ya 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@kimmihelitch9849]

I thought about the tire weight getting loose.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We learned something new

[@dorothymercer5831]

Hey I love your videos, have been watching for years. Just a question! So where do you keep the pet food? I am asking because we had an infestation once and come to find out it came from the dog food bags. They were called pantry moths. You may have started seeing them when you were in a certain area, but they could have just came from when you unknowingly bought a bag or package that had been contaminated somewhere. Just thought I would let you know this is a thing and it has happened to us. Hope that helps.In fact there is an app in the play store that you can identify the type of moth and go from there.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Her food is in a container under the sink

[@nottthereyet4872]

Thank you, Eric! Thank you, David! And thank you, Other Guy ~ sorry, didn't catch your name. Good job, Les Schwab! 💯 We felt your stress and shared your relief. 🦋

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Great guys for sure

[@alvinmousseau1100]

[@jamesdarren9149]

Did y’all give up on KZbin? Hope not miss y’all?😢

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

No jyst taken a needed brake.

[@barackmycat9448]

Love the RV cats. I never saw a weight that was loose like that. They found it though. whew....

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

My first loose weight, you learn something new everyday

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

I love your attitudes in this frustrating (to say the least) situation with your tires,even more than anything else in the video. I need to work on how I deal with stress. It stresses me out just thinking about it!😂What’s your secret? 😉😆 It’s a good thing that you got to see beautiful Lake Tahoe first!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I really try not to stress out anymore. My old job was enough stress to last a life time. 😁😁😁

[@hoss1003]

Glad you got that figured out. That's why, I always ask for glue on weights, that go on the inside of the wheel. I also carry tire repair kits, with lots of plugs and glue. They're great to have handy. I've even used them on side walls, where I've had to use four plugs and a lot of glue to stop a bad leak, where a rock flipped up and cut the side wall of the tire. Good luck and God Bless Y'all on the rest of your trip.. Say hello to Punkin..

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@billbradley2480]

I’ve been a Les Schwab customer since I moved to Washington almost 30 years ago. True they’re expensive. Great customer service. Every time I go there I say “darn it I forgot to bring a bag for popcorn.” Their popcorn bags are so tiny I have to get 7 or 8 refills. Plus Les Scwhab does lots of Brake Jobs so they’re good at it.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I forget the popcorn last time

[@gbmoves7902]

You have to have good rubber on the road. Too many people don't take care of their rubbers. Thank you guys.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Very true! And thank you

[@kiza4178]

Gooid to see you two having a little fun, go with the flow! Les Schwab should give you a punch card, for visiting so many towns!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

True that 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@notlostjustwandering218]

Too funny. As soon as you said it was making a noise, I said It's a weight! 😂 I had a similar experience when I had my tires rotated a few months back.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We learned a lot from this day.

[@stevexray6253]

You get mixed emotions at times like that. It hurts your feelings to have to spend so much money but you are also thankful that you have enough money to pay for it. Safe travels and no more vehicle problems for a while.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are vary grateful all worked out.

[@MariaCierra-k9d]

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you got it taken care of and figured what was doing that noise. Stay safe. Love you three.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Just glad it was something easy.

[@kimmihelitch9849]

Les Schwab are my guys and gals! I've had an acct with them since I was 16 and I'm 63 now, so a very long time! They have always treated me well. ❤ 🚙0

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I started my account when I was 22.

[@rvpandamonium]

Wow... that was an ordeal 🤪 thankfully it was something simple 😊❤ and glad you had a wonderful birthday breakfast 🎉

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's funny how things workout . We had a big plate of biscuits and gravy.

[@mlucero6021]

I agree with Les Schwabs..they were there for me when I needed them. I was working a traveling assignment in Fresno, CA. Such relief! to find them.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They have always been good to me.

[@teenamarie1467]

Love Les Schwab. I actually met Les many years ago when we both raised Angus cattle. Good thing you do those walk arounds. WTG Scott.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@badgerpa9]

The white moths get into flour and things so make sure that is closed up tight. Put some cattle rubber mat around the blocks and a handle and you have a great block for under the 5th wheel. Stay safe and healthy.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are so glad all the moths have gone by by.😁😁😁😁😁

[@OhHellMichelle]

And to think way back in the early 80’s we loved that sound by putting playing cards in our bicycle spokes! Free! 😂 Glad y’all are safe that’s all that matters to me 😊 ✌️

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So true 😊😊😊

[@maggieesquivel4533]

Eric knows how to sell. Great service.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Great guy. So helpful and friendly

[@KatherineWalden]

Oh my gosh, I’m only 3/4 of the way through here and my stress level has gone in sky high. I can’t imagine how your day was.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It all worked out good in the end. 😁😁😁

[@happycamper608]

I can’t open my bathroom door without putting my slide out. Punkin is so cute.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍

[@SAP64]

Wow, the size of that bolt. When you finally figured it out and got back in the truck, the look on Pumpkin's face said it all "are be done now", Glad to see your on the road again safely.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It was a long day but it worked out great.

[@torotom6243]

I live in the Santiam Canyon east of Salem Oregon and we had the Beachie Creek fire in 2020....devastating to several small towns in our canyon and the rural areas around them. People are still getting rebuilt.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So sad

[@MikeandLisasExcellentAdventure]

Happy Birthday! Yeah, when I heard that clicking, that's what I thought it might be if it was t a rock. Glad it wasn't serious. One little thing can make a long day for sure.. lol. Safe travels!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you 👍👍👍👍

[@jackie6582]

Oh it’s beautiful views❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It really was.👍👍👍

[@Paradisegirl58]

You guys are Les swab hopping 😂

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Just needed more coffee 😁😁😁

[@kathrynsterk1545]

Moth Balls!!😂 We found moth larvae in between pillows stored in cabinet in our RV. How they got there who knows.😂 Luckily we got them out of rig before the hatched...always an adventure.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are bug free now. What a pain the bugs were.

[@theramblingroost]

We have also had a Les Schwab/Mansker account forever! Usually, they have a balance, and then when we get it paid off... time for another set of tires. Haha Can I ask what tires you are running on the truck? Chris is researching tires for the teuck right now. For the first time, we aren't happy with the Open Country's we have on the Dodge. They load up with snow, and we can slide so easily. Even when sitting, we can slide on the road sitting still. We have NEVER had that problem before on any truck we have ever had. Just on this truck. We have sipped our tires before (on our 72 Jimmy), but we can't sip when we use this truck for towing. Any suggestions? Are you home? We would love to talk to you about your travels. We are still "stuck" only traveling around here.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

My new truck tires are big country AT2 they seem to be a good tire so far my other set were the first gen AT and they were crap.

[@martykong3592]

:) THANKS MUCH for sharing! What an adventure of 3 Les Schwabs in a day :) HOPE Lunch at Black Bear was good :) ALL the BEST and safe travels ! ! ! Cheers : )

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thankyou so much for watching

[@cybernode33]

As an avid RVer and outdoor enthusiast, I've had my fair share of grills. I was a long-time Qstoves user until I switched to Asmoke. The difference was night and day! The convenience of the Asmoke pellet grill is unrivaled. With the digital controller, I can set and maintain my desired cooking temperature without constant monitoring and adjusting - a huge time saver on road trips. The variety of wood pellet flavors has also taken my grilling game to the next level. My personal favorite is applewood. The compact size and light weight make it perfect for RV trips and the battery offers up to 10 hours of runtime which is more than enough for a great cookout. Plus, the clean-up is a breeze compared to Qstoves. With Asmoke, I feel like I've upgraded my RV lifestyle. #Asmoke.

[@maryrecoy1616]

I love the lil dog...I had one just like her and he was 🐈‍⬛ black....his name was sugar bear but as he aged I called him my salt n Peppa suge with his lil gray n white on his black...I miss him.. he hated noise n storms just like you're punkin...safe travels!

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@akgobears]

Dont know where you folks spend the nite on this I-5 route through Oregon....We have done it several times to and from the Bay Area to Portand to visit realives...Also the Oregon Coast...Was wondering if ya have ever spent the night at the Cracker Barrel in Medford or Seven Feathers Casino In Canyonville....Both have free RV parking ...We have used Seven Feathers several times...They also have a full RV park across the freeway along with a I-5 rest area if so inclined to go with that free RV lot by the casino and Burger King....

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We stay at the Seven Feathers every time. It's the perfect stopping point.

[@ronniebatiesr4491]

Thanks guys people don’t double check their work anymore blessings for the road 🙏🙏🐶

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

[@mischiefroadtripadventures]

I can relate to this video! That noise would have been annoying! 😂 You were lucky to have so many tire shops on your route!! I'm glad it worked out. Biscuits and gravy made it all worthwhile! Happy Birthday!!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So glad it was a small issue.

[@m.d.grimes1622]

In England they spell tire with a y, tyre....I think the right spelling for this video is definitely tire as in "tired." You know low sugar from not eating can stress you out as well, sometimes we become testy with each other when we are hungry...it's a chemical thing. 😁😁😎😎👍👍

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That makes sense 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗

[@cluke4248]

We just spent 1200 on our 4x4f150 and 3000 on our class A for tires....I know the pain😢

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's crazy the price of tires any more. And why does a battery cost 300 dollars 🤔🤔

[@1ladyinpurple]

Black Bear Diner!!! Aren’t they just the best!! 😊

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Such good food. And we have never had a bad experience

[@neysabrooks680]

LS is not a place many of us in Calif like. They are known to take advantage of people. I used to drive a school bus and they used LS, but soon learned it was a mistake taking the buses in to them. It didnt take them long to close out the account and take the buses else where. They are expensive also. There are better places to buy good tires.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They have been fair with us so far

[@linmurray436]

Sounds like the first Les Schwab was in Ashland not Grants Pass. Grants Pass is 30 miles north of Medford.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Correct .

[@zackmax7184]

I hope they are not like The Good Year Vectors that came on My K Car they were like a Magnet for Nails, Rocks, You name it, it would make them Go Flat.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We have been blocky so far.

[@rogergraves242]

At Least Daddy got A Driving Truck standard u don’t find those no more 7-1-2024 Here.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I really enjoy a standard transmission 👍👍👍

[@punkinsal]

That bolt looks like the one from the underside bolt you are missing

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I was thinking the same thing

[@missmel6528]

Fun to see my home town of Phoenix Oregon, also my regular Les Schwab

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So loving it out here on the Oregan Coast.

[@zackmax7184]

At least You're Truck Isn't A K Car. They Tried to kill Me and My Family back in the 1980's.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That's terrible

[@Power19501]

There are days like this but it’s better to be safe than sorry . Tires are a must that they be good. We used Les Schwab. all the time when we lived in WA state . Now that we have moved out of WA we stay with Discount Tire because they are all over the country.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

At the end of the day all was perfect

[@markshelhart8338]

My buddy in HS dad owned a gas station that sold used cars and he always got the worst of the lot to drive. He drove an old Plymouth that burned oil so fast that he carried around a couple of gallons of used drained oil from the station with him and he'd have to stop pretty frequently to add it.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍 love it.

[@joanyoder5880]

My daughter and I were ahead of you by a couple weeks. We exclaimed about Shasta Lake too.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's so awesome to see the lake full.

[@1ladyinpurple]

I’ve been on that drive so many times and it never gets old. I love driving from Redding to Portland. Some great little towns along the way.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I totally agree!

[@scarlethenderson6510]

Okay now I'm at the part of the video where it's figured out and I was right cool but that's what it sounded like to me the weight was loose on the rim

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It was a first time for us. We learned a lot that day.

[@SharonChaffins]

If you can ride in a truck with your man that long, you've got a great relationship 😅

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

True that!

[@jjsuperstar900]

Les Schwab has new owners and they haven't been as helpful, at least in Salem/Portland

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They did come out running for me that day. 😊😊😊
